We parted.
A weary round of years went by, when came,
Like food tide on the angry deep, great waves
Of trouble rolling onward in our paths;
Alike the skies were dark for both,
Alike the gentle, smiling sun beamed forth.
Then, after we had felt the fire Of life,
Fate, chance, or God, or what you viii, took up
The raveled ends of our remaining days,
Aud brought US face to face.
met him in the early dawn when morn,
Gray hooded, and with somber mien,
Looked DER the hills upon drowsy world.
Pale was his face and in bis eyes I saw
Few were the moments ill his race was run.
He turned upon his couch-his dying couch,
And babe me hear the last words Of his life.
Yet ere he spake. his breath forsook his lips.
And with gentle, winning smile, he passed
Into the confines Of another WORLD
And rejoiced he spake not, for his smile
Was better far than idle words.

Important Decision to Merchants and Others.

business men place themselves by furnish

their financial condition, has just been con.
cluded in the U. S. district court at Mad

their belief on the solvency of Powers OH q
statement which the latter had himself
furnished to the Bradstreet Mercantile
Agency that his assets aggregated SS, 500,
md his liabilities $4,000. Powers subse.
quently failed, and it then developed that
at the time he made the statement to the
mercantile agency his liabilities equaled or
exceeded his assets. Thereupon kellogg e.

goods under false pretenses. Judge Bum

the refuse barrel at this place often saw

conspicuous. When asked the proprietor
what he intended to do with such material
he said it was intended for butter fac

counterfeit butter are enabled to destroy
all offensive odors, and some OF them use
about one fourth pure butter to give their
wares good appearance and taste.

CONDENSED NEWS,
Gen. Ros.sr Deno.nce. Gen. sheridan.


The followingis a letter, written by Gen.
Thomas L. Rosser, the ex. confederate lead.
er. to Major Holmes Conrad OF Washing.
ton:
have seen it reported recently in the
newspapers that Gen. p. H. Sheridan con.
templates at an early day another ride up
the Shenandoah valley. I had hoped
that our beautiful valley should never
again be desecrated by his footprints.
Cold, cruel and brutal must be the
character OF this soldier who fondly cher.
ishes memories OF the wild, wanton waste
and desolation which his barbarous torch.
es spread through the valley, laying in ash
es the beautiful and happy homes OF limo.
and aged men. and who over these ruins
boasted that now q crow cannot fly over
this valley without carrying its rations."
Gen. Sheridan has done nothing
since the war to atone for
bis cruel barbarism during the war. ar
We have not forgotten THAI during his
reign in New Orleans he asked that our fel.
low citizens OF Louisiana might be pro.
claimed banditti in order that he might
set the dogs of war on them. l have for.
given the brave men OF the Union armies
whom l have met in honorable battle and
who finally triumphed over us in the great
struggle. Among them 1 can now name
many OF my warmest and truest
and most-prized friends. They are
good and true men and think none the
less OF us for having fought them. In
deed, they esteem him highest amongst us
who fought them hardest. Sheridan is not
one OF this kind and he has never accorded
to us this peace which Grant proclaimed.
now say to you, my dear ma jor, and to
our gallant comrades who are.now in the
valley, that hope you will allow this man
to make his triumphant ride up the valley
in peace; but let him go, like a miserable
crow, carrying his r;ltions with him.

Cardinal Manning on Labor.

In a forthcoming newspaper article Car
dinal Manning will say:
Unless the rights OF labor can be denied,
the liberty OF organization to protect them
and the freedom founded upon them can
notbe denied. Tow ards the end OF the
last century the doctrines ofpolitical econ
omy under the plea OF free contract, broke
up the old relations between the employer
and the employed, and the conflict be.
tween capital and labor then became per-
petual. The power Of capital is all but
irresistible, for labor must work for the
bread OF life. Hunger lays the necessity
upon them OF laboring for the sake OF their
homes and themselves. When the law ceas.
es to intervene organizations for mutual
defense straightway arise. The Knight
OF Labor and the British trades union
represent the rights OF labor and the rights
OF association for its defense. The free
dom OF contract hardly exists. 1t is pure
ly the chnrch's office to protect the poor
and their labor, which has built up the
human commonwealth.

Fifty years ago the national debt
was only S37,513. In 1865 it was
$2,773,235,173. At the present rate
OF decrease the debt will disappear in
twelve years. But there is great
danger that lavish and extravagaEt
appropriations may prolong the time
indefinitely. And then there are many
people who believe ga national debt
is a national blessing" They will use
all their influence and other interested
parties will do the same, to defeat the
earnest desire OF the great body o.
the people who long for the time wher
the national government will be out
of debt.

Secretary Fairch.ld has determined
to protect claimants before the treas
nry department from the eextortionate
demands OF attorneys. A few days
ago he ordered the cancellation of a
check issued in payment Of the back
pay and bounty ola soldier which was
held by an attorney in order to secure
what the secretary considered an ex-
orbitant and illegal fee. The secretary
then directed that a duplicate check
be issued and sent direct to the claim
ant. He says that this course will be
adopted in all cases where the attor-
ney asks more than fair compensation
for his legal services.

Italy in Good Condition.

Sir Charles Dilke's fifth article in the
Forthcoming Fortnightly Review will repre-
sent the position OF European politics in
Italy. 1t is q long, learned paper, conclud-
ing with the following summary:
AS Great Britain has her enormous re.
sponsibilities and her present unreadiness
to meet them; as Russia has nihilism and
corruption; as Austria has socialism and
race difficulties; as Germany has her weak
military position between five first.class
military powers; as France has her
traditions Of financial wastefulness and
want OF statesmen. 80 Italy, too has her
difficulties. OF these difficulties, the
backwardness of Sicily and the
Southern provinces generally is, per-
haps, the greatest. But l think, on the
whole, Italy has fewer dangers to face than
any other Of the great powers. 1 am con-
vinced that she is making more rapid prog.
ress than any OF them. with the exception
OF course, of Russia, which has the advan-
tage OF being territorially considered, al.
most second to the United States. Avast
advance has been made OF late in educ.s.
tion and manufactures by the suppression
OF brigandage. While good deal remains
to be done, more has been done in Italy in
the last sixteen years than is generally &C.
knowledged or believed.

Parnell Sometimes Goes a Fishing,

A London cable to the Brooklyn Citizen
says: The popular view OF MIR. Parnell's
recent visit to Ireland regards him as delv-
ingamong boxes full of old letters, unearth.
ing documents with the dust OF years upon
them and weighed down with Indignation
and a passionate desire to be aveng-
ed on his malignant adversaries
Nothing could be farther from
the truth. He has simply been fishing. A
reporter was sent to him from the Free
mans journal in hot haste to consult him
on an important matter. Mr.. Parnell was
not at home. Nobody knew where he was.
At last the reporter got clue and dlscov.
cred him returning from his placid pastime
with rod over his shoulders and u we'll
filled basket on his back, utterly needless
OF the fact that England was ringing with
cries and counter cries of his name. His
enemies would, Of course. point to this as
evidence that he is u complete hyprocrite
His friends know he is only complete an

The new brigadier generals career
Wesley Merritt-has from the first
been a very remarkable one. AL
though he graduated from the Military
Academy only during the summer
preceding the civil war, he rose before
its close to be chief of Sheridan's cav.
airy corps, about 10000 strong, in
the Shenandoah valley, and was one
OF the regular officers who received the
commission OF major general OF vol.
nnteers tor specific services expressed
in the wording OF the commission. He
also received no fewer than six bre.
vets, from major up to major general,
for gallant and meritorlous services in
specified operations, all between the
battle of Gettysburg and the surrend-
or at Appomattox.

Mr.. George I. seney, OF Brooklyn,
N. Y, has again become very rich
man. One OF the uses to which he is
devoting his new wealth is the accu-
mutation of art treasures. 1t will be
remembered that when Mr.. Seney
failed four years ago he gave upevery-
thing to his creditors. His superb art
gallery and rich collection of family
silver were not spared. Mr.. Seney at
50 began life again and in four years
has made another great fortune. He
uses his money now as literally as he
did in the days of his former prosper
ity. The other day he donated to
the Metropolitan museum Of art s4o,.
600 worth OF American and foreign
paintings. Now he is exhibiting his
private gallery and gives the proceeds
to charity. The collection is large
and splendid.

Oper. House Burned at Des Motne,.

Fosters opera house burned Friday
evening. the 2ath ult., and only the side
walls and front offices remain. 1t was one
OF the finest theatres in the state. The fire
covered had gained such headway that
the persons in the third story front
offices were obliged to make
their exit through the windows by the aid
OF the fremen's ladders. Miss Hattie
Duke, a stenographer, was nearly suffocat.
ed and was borne insensible down the lad.

Patrick Lynch, nearly lost his own life in
saving hers. The loss is about $35, 600;
insurance, $4,000. The origin OF the fire

will be rebuilt and enlarged.

1t. Rev. DR.. Ireland, Bishop OF st. Paul,
Minn.:
To Our Venerable Brother, j ohm Ireland,

tion. The admirable works OF piety
and q, charity by which our faithful
labor to promote not only their own tenn
poral and eternal welfare. but also that OF
their fellow citizens, and which you have
recently related to us, give to lis exceeding
great consolation. And above all we have
rejoiced to learn with what energy and zeal,
! by means OF various excellent ntassociations,
and especially through the Catholic Total
Abstinence Union, you combat the de.
structive vice OF intemperance For it is
well known to us how ruincus, how deplor.
able is the injury both to faith and to
morals that is to be feared from intem.
perance in drink. Nor can we sufficient
Y praise the prclates OF the United
States, who recently in the Plenary Coun-
Gil Of Baltimore with weightiest words con-
demned this abuse, declaring it to be per.
petual incentive to sin and 1. fruitful root
OF all evils, plunging the families of the in.
temperate into the dircst ruin, and draw.

dation the 1foble resolve ofyour pious asso.
Citations, by which they pledge themselves
to abstain totally from every kind OF in
toxicating drink. Nor can it at all be
doubted that this determination is the
proper and the truly efticacious remedy for
this very great evil; and that SO much the
more strongly will all be induced to put this
bride upon appetite by how much the
greater are the dignity and Influence of
those who give .he example. But greatest
OF all in this matter should be
the zeal OF priests, who, as they are
called to instruct the people in the
word OF life, and to mold them to Chris.
tian morality, should also, and above
| all, walk before them in the practice of
virtue. Let pastors, therefore, do their
best to drive the plague of intemperance
from the fold OF Christ by assiduous
preaching and cXortation, and to shine
before all as models OF abstinence, that SO
the many calamities with which this vice
threatens both church and state may, by
their strenuous endeavors, be averted.
And we most earnestly beseech Almighty
God that, in this important matter, he
may graciously favor your desires, direct
your counsels, and assist your endeavors;
and as a pledge OF the divine protection,
and as q testimony of our paternal affec-
tion we most lovingly bestow upon you;
venerable brother, and upon your asso.
ciates in this holy league, the apostolic
benediction.
Given at Rome, from st. Peters, this
9th day OF March, in the year 1887, the
tenth year OF our pontifcate.
